Hi all, I just reqistered on this forum after having read some of the posts. I'm probably about to buy a metal detector in the next month or so to get into the hobby. I have a few questions and also probably need to read a little more about detectors.
First question is about the displays on metal detectors. What advantage do I get by purchasing a metal detector with a display vs one without. I know some metal detectors w/o LCD displays like the Minelab Advantage and the Tereso Cibrola get very good reviews. What would I be giving up with no display if I bought one of those vs an ACE 250 or similar and which is best for a beginner....one with or w/o a display?
What is the signifigance of different detectors running at different frequencies? And If I'm hunting with a friend, should we buy detectors on different frequencies....will they interfere with each other if we are walking close?
I'm sure I'll have more questions but I'm just trying to get a start on which detector to buy in teh 250-350 dollar price range.
